| Following the revision by Zhang & Webb (1996) on Oriental leafhopper subfamily Selenocephalinae further material was borrowed to promote our study on this group. The present dissertation, which including introduction, the history and present situation both in China and abroad, mainly deals with the morphology, phylogenetic analysis and biogeography and taxonomy on the Selenocephalinae from Asia-Pacific area.Morphological terminology was adopted principally from Zhang(1996) and Zhang & Webb(1996). Male genitalia preparations were made by using 5-10% weak solution of potassium hydroxide, then washed and temporarily mounted on plastics plate in glycerine for observation. Dissections and identifications were performed with a Leica ZOOM2000 stereomicroscope, hand-drawing of male genitalia was carried out with OLYMPUS PM-10AD microscope with drawing tube, and external morphological characters figured out under Nikon AFX- II stereomicroscope fitted with drawing tube too.The subfamily Selenocephalinae is a diverse group and only widely distributes in the Eastern Hemisphere which covers the Ethiopian, the Oriental, the Palaearctic and the Australian Regions. Totally, there are 7 tribes 57 genera and 320 species known in this subfamily over the world, of which 3 tribes, 39 genera and 170 species in Asia-Pacific area, and 3 tribes, 18 genera and 43 species known from China. In the present paper, 3 tribes, 21 genera and 133 species known in Asia-Pacific area are diagnosed, of which 1 subgenus and 97 species (including 5 species Drabescus jinxiuensis, Drabescus lii, Drabescus lamellatus, Fistulatus monkoboensis and Fistulatus athena published in 2003) are new to science and 1 new synonym is proposed, 56 new species are from China, 6 genera and 6 species are recorded for the first time from China. They are listed as follows:New subgenus: Hecaloidella(Adnascens) subgen.nov..New species: Hecaloidella(s.str.) brunnifacialis, H.(s.str.) indonesiana, H.(s.str.) nigritia, H.(s.str.) perbrevis, H.(s.str.) pterota, H.(Adnascens) biprojecta, H.(A.) nonprojecta, H.(A.) ventralis, H.(A.) choui, H.(A.) restrostylis, Tambocerus elongatus, T. sinensis, T. furcella, T. bioprocess, Drabescus iruncatus, D. obtusius, D. trapezius, D. tenuiprocessus, D. spatulatus, D. gemmatus, D. tubulatus, D. meniscus, D. selliformis, D. quadripunctatus, D. flos, D. lunatus, D. taeniatus, D. guttatus, D. remus, D. panduratus, D. circinans, D. flatislis, D. cometa, D. venus, D. ocellatus, D. concoideus, D. navicularis, D. serratus, D. plieatus, D. minerva, D. peregrinus, D. subconicus, D. foliaceus, D. siciformis, D. soleiformis, D. peltatus, D. tectorius, D. turbinatus, D. trullatus, D. hamatus, D.sagittatus, D. torchus, D. appressus, D. succinus, D. malleatus, D. scalpratus, D. minos, D. forcipatus, D. sericeus, D. receptacularis, D. apicilaris, D. eucallus, D. calicinus, D. sinensis, D. tenellus, D. micaceus, D. ramulinus, D. rectilineus, D. scoparius, D. mars, D. sarmentaceus, D. splendidus, D. maniformis, D. ligulaceus, D. marsupiatus, D. hamatipenis, D. clermonti, D. indonesianus, Bhatia hastata, B. globulosa, B. flabellata, B. eburna, B. digitata, Carvaka columna, Drabescoides umbonata, Favintiga anisomorphus, Fistulatus brevis, F. rectilineus, Hybrasil orbiculatus, Lamia apophysata, Parabolopona orientala, Roxasella crassidens, spp.n.oNew record: Waigara Zhang & Webb, Nakula Distant, Lamia Linnavuori, Hybrasil Kirkaldy, Favintiga Webb and Tambocerus Zhang & Webb.
